You Didn't Have To Be So Nice - The Grass Roots

You didn’t have to be so nice

I would have liked you anyway

If you had just looked once or twice

And gone upon your quiet way

Today I said the time was right for me to follow you

I knew I’d find you in a day or two

And it’s true

You came upon a quiet day

You simply seemed to take your place

I knew that it would be that way

The minute that I saw your face

And when we’ve had a few more days (When we’ve had a few more days)

I wonder if I’ll get to say (Wonder if I’ll get to say)

You didn’t have to be so nice (Be so nice)

I would have liked you anyway (Would have liked)

Today I said the time was right for me to follow you (Today, said that the time

was right to follow you)

I knew I’d find you in a day or two (I knew that I would find you in a day or two)

And it’s true

You didn’t have to be so nice (Didn't have to be so nice)

I would have liked you anyway (Would have liked you anyway)

If you had just looked once or twice (Once or twice)

And gone upon your quiet way (Quiet way)
